I say please put 6 DOF in and if for some reason the player doesn't like it, the player can turn it off. No problem. Thank you

Exactly. In my opinion this is not about 'realism.' Oleg gave us a pause button. How 'real' is that? This is about immersion in the sim. I also think this would be a great opportunity to re-unite the community behind TD and the 'official' version. How many people have posted here and over in the Ubi forum thread that the ability to use 6DoF was their main reason for using mods? For myself, if this were implemented in the vanilla version then I'd have to take a long hard look whether it was worth continuing with the multiple installs, the switchers, having to wait for other squad members to catch up with the latest version of this, that and the other..................................

Reson for using mods is basig the SOUNDS and 6DOF + been able to fly heavy bombers like the B17 Liberater and many other planes. It allso provide a lot of good looking things that make it very enjoyable to fly. I dont belive it is a stand up behind DT or against them or modders. I think they both have the right to be here. It just provide a lot more of what I like and wouldent be without. DT is doing a great job, and so are the modders. The very best thing that cut happent was they starting work together. Its not a religion was. Not in my book after all. Think how far it cut go? And I would still bye the new COD when comes out. But I allso like this a lot.

a small range of side to side movement, so that you can see round the stick to the instrument panel, would be useful. however the range of movement in the mod 6dof is far too extreme, as it would see you bouncing your skull off the sides of the canopy.

i fly with the 6dof mod, but i have limited the side to side movement and only really use the tilt aspect of it with regularity.

on the tempest pov, it would seem that it's less of a head on a stick, more eyeball on a stick, as the straight down view is roughly where the pilot's spine would be. shifting it forward 10cm or so would seem about right. there's a few other planes with similar views. not sure if an arc could be modelled into the viewing angle, to simulate tipping head forward rather than rotating the stick-eyeball view down.

Same here, I don't like excessive tilt or side movement and I suspect a lot of others don't either. I have less tilt than is actually possible in real movement. I disable XY sidemovement quite frequently. Some of the objections seem to be focussed on rearview ability which is exactly the same in both 6DOF and 2DOF and fixed views
